Chris Philp says Mary-Ann Stephenson is dismissing ‘legitimate concerns about mass migration’ The Conservatives and Reform UK have strongly criticised the new head of the Equality and Human Rights Commission for criticising the “demonisation” of migrants”. Mary-Ann Stephenson , who took up her post as chair of the EHRC at the start of the month, appealed for restraint in language used to discuss migrants in an interview with PA Media published last night.

Reform believes we should deport terrorists, rapists and serious foreign criminals. The vast majority will agree with me that we must prioritise the rights of British people, whatever their ethnicity. These comments by the new Labour-appointed human rights chief are a disgrace.
